People just rip people off and hurt them their entire lives and in their desperateness they cling to the Bible because its the only thing they have. I guess it makes them feel better like "its ok because Gods got my back against the sinners" but then they go out and the Bible cant protect them (ive witnessed it personally) they just keep saying "one day I tell you! one day!" then they just keep waiting for justice and they die lol. What a joke anyone elose feel this way?

Also if an afterlife that we all share truly existed, I wouldnt want to spend it with half these heathens im made to associate with. I mean to the point that if it meant being cast out of heaven id be ok with it. None of todays slime deserves a place in heaven. All thats left is the garbage anyway

Im thinking from reading your OP You titled this thread the way you have because you havnt actually read the Book.

Scripture doesn't speak about "collecting payment for sin". It does speak to those who seek Him. The Bible is summed up beautifully in the following:

Adam - Man
Seth - Appointed
Enosh – Mortal
Kenan – Sorrow
Mahalalel – The blessed God
Jared – Shall come down
Enoch – Teaching
Methuselah – His death shall bring
Lamech – Despairing
Noah – Comfort and rest

Put those name meanings into a complete sentence and you get: Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow, (but) the blessed God shall come down teaching. His death shall bring (the) despairing comfort and rest

Only when sin is highlighted to an individual, can it bring sorrowful and heartfelt repentance. This is what God does, the gift of grace that teaches those individuals how to overcome the age in which we live. God stepped into this world to lead us out of it.

Matthew 5:26 - I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
More than half the Christians believe this translation discusses payment for sin.
Either in this life or the next .... meaning purgatory before heaven.

What I don't like about the Bible (DAICLAT)

This, as always, will remain the most glaring problem with the Bible.

We see it everywhere, and it progressively gets worse and worse, and no matter how many times this is brought to the attention of the Reader, they fail to understand they haven't got a clue what they are even discussing, let alone comprehending.

At the Worst, King James was a Masonic Cracker. Labeling him as a Flaming Homosexual, or Drunken Idiot is a mute point.

And for those whom believe he Transliterated the Bible itself, we see the DAICLAT are the forefront again.

Comments as the following flurish, yet they are ignored.

......... many of today's historians look to the writings of.............. Sir Anthony Weldon and Francis Osborne as accurate descriptions of this great king.

............ Many historians today quote Weldon as if he were a reliable historical source............................, "A Perfect Description of the People and Country of Scotland" where he says that the Scots are a "stinking people" who hold "fornication...but a pastime". He also said,

"...their flesh naturally abhors cleanness. Their breath commonly stinks of pottage...to be chained in marriage with one of them, were to be tied to a dead carcass, and cast into a stinking ditch....I do wonder that...King James should be born in so stinking a town as Edinburgh in lousy Scotland."

I can't imagine truths like this being ignored by anyone. And then there is this following, which seemingly gets everyone's "panties in a bunch".

.................historians continue to consult the writings of Anthony Weldon................King James had inordinate affections towards other men.

Disregarding these facts and their implications are simply frightening.

Enough said. The DAICLAT and those that follow them are a waste of breath and I take offense that they share the Air I breathe.

We even see them and their remarks here, from time to time, within ATS, of all places. Spewing flaming rhetoric and abashing others in some self grandiose attempt to elevate their weak and feeble minds above that of others here. Denying Ignorance eh........? COME ON. The DAICLAT can't even comprehend they are the Ignorant in Denial.

Lets do everything we can to eliminate the DAICTAL and their belief structure. Illuminate those who seeming crawled out from under a rock, and have blind commitment to exalt "their own agendas" ahead of truth. Doing the work of their father, in a world he seeks to control.

For those with Eye's to See.................

We are the problem but we think God is the problem - that's what sin is.

God has provided a solution but we can't 'see' it - that is sin.

Also if an afterlife that we all share truly existed, I wouldnt want to spend it with half these heathens im made to associate with. I mean to the point that if it meant being cast out of heaven id be ok with it. None of todays slime deserves a place in heaven. All thats left is the garbage anyway

Our destination is a new earth, heaven is only temporary.

No-one who makes it will be the same as they are now...
...but you are right God saves the ungodly and we all fit that description - that is sin and the solution.
